Agree with tobyluv. Not only is it dangerous, but your rabbit isn’t likely to enjoy it. They are prey animals, so they feel most safe in familiar surroundings. They don’t enjoy exploring like a dog would. Don’t put your bun at risk because you saw some people online do it. The vast majority of rabbits don’t go outside on leashes, but the few that…[Read more]

Vinni started the topic Need help with scared bunny! in the forum BEHAVIOR 5 years, 6 months ago
Hello all 🙂
My bun Rumchatta is just now approaching 4.5 months old. When she was younger, she loved being picked up and didn’t mind it at all and would even kiss my face when lifted! However, now it’s become a chasing chore!! I’ve read that you should try to build your bunnies tolerance to it for nail clippings and such so I’ve been trying to…[Read more]

pinkiemarie replied to the topic Need advice on working out dominance in the forum BONDING 5 years, 6 months ago
Well today did not work out how I had hoped. It got really cold and I didn’t want to take them outside while it’s below zero so I just did a regular date and thought I’d just try to be less handsy and see how that went. Clover bit him in the butt so hard! I pushed her head down and she still wouldn’t let go and he couldn’t get away…sigh. I’m not…[Read more]

Thank you guys. Right now he’s on 1.3ml of metacam every 24 hours. I took him home yesterday evening and I’ve been giving him medicine and lettuce throughout the night. He won’t eat pellets, I saw him eat three pieces of hay during the night and two small pieces this morning. I called the vet back last night and they said I should bring him back…[Read more]

Your bunny is much safer inside. It’s great that she is free roam in your apartment. A rabbit in a harness or leash can very easily get injured. They can choke if they get scared and pull on the leash. I know of one instance where a harness got imbedded in a rabbit’s throat. Besides those hazards, a rabbit outside is exposed to parasites – f…[Read more]

UmisMum replied to the topic Suspected fur mites – how to get rid? in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 6 months ago
Thanks for the response. I did just one dose of revolution and cleaned everything out and I can see no bites anymore and fur growing back!
I think she had them since birth or from the pet shop as her ear hair had always been thin and I can see it growing back now.

I have read a few mods on here advise against taking buns for walks on leads but I see so many people online taking theirs to the beach or park and just feel bad mine is stuck indoors.
she’s a free roaming mini lop about 4 months old. Very friendly, not skittish at all and confident.

Yeah I mean the picture I attached is completely good, but I mean other poops in the evening are really different sizes 🤭
Thank you very much! I’m a lot relaxed now ❤️

Over-grooming seems likely since you observed lots of face grooming. If it is just a bit read, I think it would be OK to keep an eye on for a few days and see what happens. If it gets worse or looks crusty now that they are separated, then I would try to get him seen a bit sooner.
An alternative could be that a sore spot formed, and then the…[Read more]

DanaNM replied to the topic Help with new bunny in the forum DIET & CARE 5 years, 6 months ago
It sounds like she was removed from her mother a bit early (the general recommendation is for them to stay with mom and littermates till 8 weeks, although some breeders do it earlier), so she is probably experiencing some stress from the change.
Since breeding discussion isn’t allowed on this forum, many of us here don’t have much experience with…[Read more]

Yes, that red sore like thing. In person it just looks red, the picture makes it look like a bump but there’s no bump. I’m thinking it was over grooming but I can’t be sure. I am waiting for a closer vet appointment, I want to make sure it’s not infected or I’d like to avoid infection.

Hi all!
I was thinking of adopting a rabbit in mid to late March! My bunny Thumper passed away almost a year ago and it shattered my heart. I’m finally feeling ready to open my heart to loving a new companion. I’ve made a post before with questions and got some good answers so I had another question to ask.
For those who have free roam rab…[Read more]

They really aren’t that much different in size. It’s not like they’re coming out of a press. 🙂 They look perfectly fine to me and, as Bam said, dark poops are not really something that needs to be worried about.

Yes, hay is the way to go. Especially when we’re talking about the back teeth.

It’s hard to tell from the picture exactly what this is. Are we looking at a sore on the lower eyelid? Like the other bunny pulled the fur out?
